I am not diabetic, but my diet to maintain my weight is the same :wink:
I eat a lot of brown basmatti rice dishes, one of the few starches with a very low carb count. I make my own whole wheat noodles and breads too. Low fat meats, cooked with all kinds of different herbs/seasonings for variety. Chicken/beef broth for gravies instead of drippings (or canned/jarred/packaged) and for soup base instead of using fattier meats for flavoring. Lots of fresh vegetables and fruits.
When buying store bought breads and such, I really look over the labels and buy the ones with the fewest ingredients, the same with canned/frozen foods.
Sorbets are good too, instead of icecream. But I do have to satisfy my chocolate cravings, so I bake using cocoa powder, splenda white and brown sugars, and I use atleast 1/2 whole wheat flour. I also use cocoa powder and splenda for the occasional hot chocolate.
